HOW TO CHOOSE
Choosing an electric company in Galveston.
When looking for your retail electricity provider and choosing an electric plan, there’s a number of factors to keep in mind. You’ll be able to choose a plan that’s best for you if you understand your energy usage and what’s important to you in a provider. Below are a series of tips to help you make the best decision for your household.
1
Assess Your Energy Usage
Review your past electricity bills to understand consumption patterns. Galveston's humid subtropical climate means higher usage during hot summers for cooling. Home size matters—coastal cottages use less than larger island properties.
2
Filter Plans by Needs
Browse through 89 available plans and filter by your usage level, preferred contract length, and green energy percentage. Match plan types to your household's specific consumption patterns identified in step one.
3
Review the Electricity Facts Label
Examine each plan's EFL document carefully to understand the actual rate at different usage levels. Pay attention to base charges, energy rates per kilowatt-hour, and any usage credits or penalties included.
4
Check Provider Ratings and Reviews
Review provider ratings compiled from online customer reviews and Public Utility Commission complaint data. These ratings appear on plan cards and help identify providers with strong customer service and reliability records.
5
Understand Contract Terms Fully
Read contract details including length commitments, early termination fees, renewal policies, and rate change conditions. Know what happens when your term ends and whether rates adjust based on usage thresholds.
6
Complete Your Plan Enrollment
Sign up directly through our integrated system synced with ComparePower. Have your service address, move-in date, and personal information ready to finalize enrollment for your selected electricity plan seamlessly.
TEXAS ENERGY DEREGULATION
How deregulated energy works
A deregulated energy market is one where customers have the power to choose their electricity provider, rather than being limited to a single utility. In Texas, about 90% of residents have this freedom. This system is designed to encourage competition, leading to better electricity prices and services for consumers. In the deregulated electricity market, retail electric providers (REPs) offer various plans and rates, while utility companies maintain the infrastructure and deliver the electricity.
Retail Electric Providers
In a deregulated market like Texas, you get to choose your retail electric provider. We can help you decide on the right provider and plan.
Utility Companies
Utility companies maintain the infrastructure to deliver your energy and are the same regardless of the energy provider you choose.
